Chapter 353 - Low Literacy

It is imaginable that if Tobirama were still the Hokage, Kazuki, even as Kagami's son, would likely not have had such an environment to grow up safely.

Even if Kazuki had become Tsunade's disciple, it would have been no exception. Tobirama would never miss any opportunity to target the Uchiha.

Of course, Kazuki could have grown through the combat arena, but it would not have been as smooth sailing as it is now. He might even have been forced to leave Konoha due to Tobirama's targeting, and then embark on Madara's path.

Tobirama is a very rational person, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, glad that he was already dead.

Nawaki said, "I wonder if the Raikage will make a move against the Land of Lightning's Daimyo."

Nawaki held the intelligence report, his heart a mix of emotions. It had to be said, this world was too fantastical. He hadn't known before that a Daimyo could actually be deposed.

However, Nawaki wouldn't say much now. After all, he was a ninja of Konoha, and doing this was beneficial to Konoha. Moreover, his uncles weren't dead, they had retained a lot of their property.

What was there to pity?

Their lives were already much better than the vast majority of people's.

Even the Daimyo family's current assets might be more than the entire Uchiha clan's. What was there to say?

But what was going on with the Land of Lightning's Daimyo?

"According to the intelligence currently received, after the Third Raikage quelled the internal strife, he reached some agreements with the Land of Lightning's Daimyo."

Tobirama then continued to add, "Over these years, the Lightning Daimyo has provided considerable assistance to the Third Raikage."

Hiruzen's gaze became somewhat worried as he said, "According to the intelligence we have currently obtained, Danzo is very likely in the Land of Lightning right now."

"No, he is in the Land of Lightning." Kazuki silently sensed for a moment.

"He has made some progress. Being within the Land of Lightning, he might have even reached a cooperation with the Lightning Daimyo."

Everyone knew that Kazuki had left a Flying Thunder God Mark on Danzo. Therefore, they weren't worried about Danzo causing trouble outside, as Kazuki could easily resolve it.

Kazuki sighed helplessly. "Initially, I thought Danzo would team up with Fugaku. Now that Fugaku controls the Land of Water, Danzo doesn't seem to have any intention of going to the Land of Water."

"I originally wanted Danzo to gather all the individuals secretly opposing Konoha, but from the current situation, it seems Danzo hasn't taken on this responsibility well. Indeed, those who can't make it to the big stage will never make it."

Tobirama's expression turned cold. He felt that Kazuki had dissed him. After all, Danzo was his disciple.

If Danzo was incompetent, didn't that mean he, the teacher, was incompetent?

Keep in mind, many of Danzo's methods were taught by him, Tobirama.

"Danzo, haa..." Hiruzen gave a bitter smile.

He wanted to say something on behalf of Danzo, to say that he was not useless, that he had done many things for Konoha in the past but considering the current situation in Konoha, he ultimately didn't say much.

Given the abundance of talent in Konoha now, and Kazuki not re-establishing an organization like Root, many of the tasks Danzo previously handled could be completed very well by Minato and others. Moreover, their methods didn't need to be so dark.

In that regard, it seemed Danzo truly had no purpose, and instead caused problems for Konoha's reputation.

Kazuki's gaze deepened as he said, "It's about time to deal with Danzo. Constantly letting him cause trouble outside, I'm getting a bit fed up. Since he cannot undertake the tasks we need him to do, then he has no reason to exist."

"It seems we need to make a trip to the Land of Lightning and cause some trouble for the Land of Lightning while we're at it."

"Will the Land of Lightning hand over Danzo?" Hiruzen looked towards Koharu.

Koharu's power had increased rather than decreased, and many affairs of the Land of Fire were handled by her and her colleagues. If possible, Hiruzen wanted the Land of Lightning to voluntarily hand over Danzo.

"Perhaps?" Koharu was a bit uncertain.

After all, the Land of Fire's power was far stronger than the Land of Lightning's now, they wouldn't offend Konoha just for a Danzo, would they?

Konoha currently had the strongest person in the Ninja World. Kazuki had already proven that the so-called Daimyo and descendants of gods were nothing in his eyes.

If the Daimyo considered themselves noble, Kazuki was capable of making a move against them.

As for the Third Raikage and so on, Kazuki had the confidence to face the entire Kumogakure. It was just unknown whether Danzo would hand over Edo Tensei.

Kazuki said, "Whether they hand him over or not, we need to go to the Land of Lightning. This is a must. Arrange for personnel to go with me."

Kazuki thought for a moment and then added, "Just walk in brazenly. If they resist, that means they're disrespecting me and provoking me. Then annihilating Kumogakure and the Land of Lightning will be a matter of course."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, don't mess around." Tsunade quickly reminded.

"Konoha is barely managing to take over the entire Land of Fire. If we do this, it could lead to widespread suffering."

Kazuki sighed silently upon hearing this.

Ninjas were not very good at governing and managing a country.

After getting rid of most of the Daimyo and nobles, there weren't many people capable of governing a country.

Don't think that Konoha had a low literacy rate. After entering the Ninja Academy, everyone had to learn to read and write. But in reality, the literacy rate in the entire Ninja World was less than one percent.

Most people in the Ninja World were illiterate. If it weren't for the Second Hokage, Tobirama, establishing the Ninja Academy, Konoha's literacy rate wouldn't be very high. Even if they annihilated the Land of Fire and massacred the Daimyo and nobles, there would be a severe shortage of talent to govern the country.

And as for the current situation in the Land of Fire, it would take several years to fully digest it.

"I know, I'm not that extreme." Kazuki pouted.

"I don't plan to expand the Land of Fire for now, otherwise the Land of Water wouldn't have been given to Madara."
